Fall is a wonderful season to visit the Disney area, with a pleasant change in the weather and less crowds at the attractions.

We are just coming out of the rainy season in Central Florida. During the summer months, it rains almost every day, with storms and downpours lasting for only a couple hours in the afternoons. Guests usually enjoy mostly sunny skies in the fall, beginning in late September. Along with the lower, more comfortable temperatures, this makes a perfect day spend inside the Disney parks.

Outside of the holiday weekends, attraction waiting lines at the area theme parks and roadside amusements are shorter. It is more feasible to enjoy every ride at Disney and Universal Studios Orlando. Wait times dramatically decrease at popular restaurants and shopping malls as well, which gives visitors a more enjoyable experience.

Rates for vacation rentals are greatly reduced during the fall months. It is more affordable than ever to escape for a memorable weekend with family and friends. Guests can save over $100 per night from the peak summer rates on many of our popular vacation homes and villas close to the action at Disney! This leaves more fun money in your wallet for Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, or SeaWorld!

Don’t waste any more time daydreaming about a family vacation to Orlando. Now is the perfect time to escape for the weekend! Plan your visit with Magical Memories as your host and experience the tremendous value that you’ll gain from reserving a vacation rental.

Don’t let the little things complicate your Orlando, Florida vacation. Start off on the right track to avoid family conflicts. Your well-deserved escape begins when you drive out of your driveway or board the planeto Central Florida. To make your trip more enjoyable, follow our tips on how to pack your car or prepare your luggage for a flight.

Road Trips are a great idea when traveling. Most of the time, you’ll spend less money than flying and you get to experience the open road. It is important that everyone in the automobile is comfortable and has enough room to stretch, especially after a two-hour, or in some cases, five-hour nap. Don’t clutter the seats with luggage, that’s what the trunk is for! Keep only in-car entertainment on hand, such as an interesting book or iPod. Avoid packing perishable food, as spoilage may occur if packed improperly, and could provide an unpleasant odor the rest of the trip. Kissimmee and the surrounding Orlando area have plenty of grocery stores. Buy your food locally on vacation.

Make use of all nooks and crannies when packing the car, but don’t stuff trunk space. Pillows, blankets, and linen are great, and they don’t take up much room. These things can easily fit into small spaces between luggage. Leave your windows free and clear and make sure you can see out into traffic.

Use common sense when packing your car. What do you really need to bring on vacation? If you find the back end of your sedan weighed-down and nearly touching the pavement, then you’ve packed too much. Grills, kitchen appliances, coolers, bikes, and other equipment are either provided with your Kissimmee Vacation Rental, or are offered for rent through area vendors. Remember to only pack the necessary clothes, bathroom supplies, and limited entertainment options. Guests always go back home with more than what they brought, due in part to the great local shopping.

You have to be even more efficient if you’re flying to the Orlando, Florida area. Checking bags can get pretty expensive these days. It’s not unusual to spend over $100 per bag to check. Try your best to pack everything in a suite case that will fit in an overhead compartment. Certain liquids and sharp objects can’t be taken onboard an airplane. Remember to bring entertainment as flights can get boring.

The more efficient you pack, the more money you will save. Lighter cars will save you more gas money, and carry-on bags are free on most flights. Don’t subject yourself to any avoidable conflicts on your trip to Kissimmee.

Vacations Rentals in Kissimmee have the best amenities for your summer vacation close to Walt Disney World. Magical Memories feature many different rental properties to choose from, whether it be condos, townhomes, or vacation homes.

There are several advantages to renting a property in an all-inclusive resort. Most resorts in Kissimmee feature plentiful outdoor activities. Large community swimming pools provide the perfect setting for summertime fun. There is often a jacuzzi close by to relax the muscles from a long day at the Disney parks. Walking and biking nature trails, sports facilities, and comfortable lounges in the clubhouses are also popular amenities in resorts.

Families enjoy the space, privacy, and value that comes from renting a house. Though most of our homes are located in neighborhoods, there are a handful that are located in an all-inclusive resort. Every one of our vacation rental homes feature private swimming pools to cool off from the summer heat. Pools are enclosed in screened patios for added comfort.
